Performance reviews have been very good to me. One of the best things for my career has been my blog. (https://www.forrestthewoods.com/blog/)
At the end of the day a perf review is storytelling. Learn to tell a good story and reviews will be good to you.
It sucks that getting a good or bad review is dependent on factors outside the actual work. But it is what it is. No one disputes that employees should be rewarded for the quality of their work. That’s an effectively unsolvable problem so companies do the best they can.
For employees the mid/long term solution is to seek FI so you can do your creative work without the meta-game of managing perceptions.
